Sky's stash

The images on the class blog showed us two images that were related to the image from the last post. After seeing these two new photos, I can be confident in saying that my view on the image has definitely moved my interpretation in a way, like gaining new knowledge that helps you finally understand a subject. The two new images are the same as the first one from the last post. The difference is that we now have a wider field of view, letting us see what was around us. And what we see is that this image wasn't at all what I originally thought is was. My interpretation of the last picture was that it was photoshopped and made to send a message about life. Now, what that message was, I couldn't entirely find out, but I thought is was there somewhere. Now that I can see around the image, I now know that what I was seeing was a close-up of a giant image that was physically painted on the side of a building in Waterford, Ireland. The image's name is "The Last Girl...

The image on the class blog, made be Gottfried Helnwein, depicts close up of a girls face. This makes it so we only see the right eye (off to the left) and the nose (off to the right). Going through the middle of the nose is a line. This line is actually a rope, and at about two thirds of the way up the rope is a man that looks like a mountain climber. He is miniscule, only being around as large as the girls pupil. The girls facial expression is neutral, but the eyes stare directly at the camera, implying that she is looking straight at the viewer. Trying to decipher what is going on here is slightly difficult, as it really doesn't appear to be implying any meaning. The man is climbing the girl's face like a mountain, and the girl doesn't seem to even notice or care about the man.  This is very clearly an artistic image, as it is quite impossible to take an image like this as a naturally occurring event. This means that the image was definitely made in Photoshop....
